The adjourned town meeting was held Thursday morning with fully a hundred taxpayers in attendance and with a class from the Westerly High school 2nd citizens not qualified to vote on the expenditure of money as spec- tators. Moderator Tugene Pendleton and Clerk Everett E. Whipple were on the platform, and at 10 o'clock the moderator declared the meeting to be in order. The clerk read the frst proposition in the call, which was, Shall the town make an appropriation for repairing the Watch Hill road and roads in the village of Watch Hill? Town Solicitor Agard stated that Treasurer James M. Pendleton had a resolution to offer; that Mr. Pendleton was in the building, and with the per- mission of the meeting he would 80 and summion him. After a delay of five minutes, Treasurer Pendleton arrived and offered a resolution that $65,000 be appropriated for the building, recon- struction, straightening and_ repairing of the Watch Hill road, which was subsequently amended by motion of Tromas H. Peabody that the work be done by contract, as provided for in of the general statutes. ' The resolution, as amended, was finally unanimously adopted, after considerable discussion, not based on opposition to the project, but to secure some definite Information as to the nature of the proposed work. Milo Clarke declared that the high- way committee of the town council, or someone else, must have definite plans in regard to the proposed work, and that the people were entitled to some nformation in regard to the proposi- In reply, Councilman Francis G. ell, chairman of the committee, sald that consuitation had been held with a committee of the F ot Trade, and that the different metiod of road construction had been consid- ered. These methods were simmere down to one or two, and the commit- tee had not de ¥ decided which would be the best for the town of terly, and there was but little dif. in cost of these methods.

Charles Henry Crandall asked if the town council was to expend the money arnment tion.

He did not| n open mecting, and the probability | was that the road would be one of | these methods of construction. He did | ot think the freemen desired to handi- cap the committec. CI dall said he would committee inspect t front of the Samuel might serve as a g Dr. Michael H. Scanlon could con- ceive of no valid reason for not giving details to the people in town meetins. ought to be known when the work was to be commenced and when ended re the money was to be expended by whom, what changes are to be made along the road in the sections to htened, and who is to super- vise the work, and like detail; cilman Haswell replied that was to be done under the supervision of a competent engineer and inspector, outside of the highway committee. The work would be started near the merry- zo-round, thence by the Ocean house to the Watch Hill road towards West- erly as far as Wells street. Mr. Has- well again said that no one should handicap the committee in getting the lowest possible price for the best pos sible road work, and he did not think it advisable to give the cost per mile of the proposed new or reconstructed road. Dr. Scanlon asked how it was pro- posed to raise the money, and Counci| man Haswell replied that was up to the meeting and the treasurer. Tristam D, Babcock believed that a good road could be provided and money saved if the road built by Contractor Gill several years ago were repaired, and new road added thereto to extend into the village of Watch Hill; the town woild have a good substantial road for not more than $20,000. Fred- erick C. Buffum said the time had come when even Westerly must give con- sideration to modern road building. The waterbound macadam road would not do, and the upkeep of roads was an item that must be considered. The cement road has the call at the present time. It has resisted the action of the automobile and there is economy in maintenance. He could not understand why the committee did not come to the meeting with a clean-cut proposition for a cement road. It was a surprise to him, as he had supposed that the joint committees were agreed on the cement road proposition. The Watch Hill road is used more then 2uy other and the taxpayers in that section pay one-quarter of the taxes of the whole town. Thomas H. Peabody stated that any action of the meeting would not be binding on the town council, as all matters pertaining to highway im- provement was vested in the council, and any money appropriated for work carried with it, under the law, that the work be done by contract and not by the town praper. Under the reso- lution almost anything can be done, but before anything can be done the town council must take the requisite reference to public hearings under cer- tain conditions. It Is a compliment for the town council to invite taxpay- ers to consider road matters, but the town council can ignore the action of a town meeting. Treasurer James M. Pendleton stated that the amendment to the resolution for the appropriation, which provided that the work be done by contract, was to the satisfactlon of the road committee and the council. Tt would be well to adopt the resolution that carried with it the appropriation, which would be a vote of confldence in the committee and the council that the Watch Hill road would be built and the best interests of the town con- served. ‘A bill to incorporate the Seventh Day Baptist general conference has been introduced in congress by Representa- Alsea Noalv., to be known as e church| If the sum of $65,000 is not required for the work the balance will o turned back into the treasury; if 10re is needed, more should be given. | There is need for the best possible ond to Watch Hill and taxpayer he was willing to leave the whole mat- | ter with the counei SUM OF $65,000 organization with headquarters in the District of Columbia.

Burdick, George Benjamin Utter, Ira B. Cran- dall, William L. Clarke, Samuel H. Davis, Albert S. Babcock, Ira Lee Cot- trell, Frank Hill, John F. Paimer and Edward B. Saunders. Milo Clarke said the taxpayers would like to know just how this money is to be raised. Treasurer Pen- dleton replied that no money would probably be expended before April 1 and perhaps now before May 1. The final year ends May 1, and no money will be taken from the treasury for the purpose the present fiscal vear. There will be some surplus on account of the increased tax -valuations. The following May will be a new. fiscal year, with new tax, and new appropri- ations, which will cover two years of assessments, the budget being prac- tically the same, and it will be pos ible to keep within the debt limit, and times notes and funded bonds is- sued Ira B. Crandall said that permanency in the building of the Watch Hill road should be considered. While that kind of a road cost more, it would be an economical move. He favored building the best road, if not so much, a road that would stand the ravages of time and omobiles. Samuel H. Dav was disappointed that no definite plan had been submitted by the commit- tee. He had learned that there wa but very little difference in the cost of cement and Topeka mixture roads. Hic favored the appropriation. Rev. Joseph L. Peacock expressed confidence in the council and the com- mittee, Foster Jagger was surprised to see 50 much doubt as to the reliability of the town council, and asked, Why the creat doubt in confidence in the pres- ni council” The taxpayers are asked vote $65,000 for somet they about, not the »posed road .

Frank W.

Then Jam Pendieton made a motion to ad intending to ignore proposed reduction in water rates. Moderator Pendleton did not put the motion, but reminded that there was another proposition in the call to a thorize the treasurer to hire money if necessarv, to make the action of the meeting operative. This proposi- tion was adopted and the motion to journ prevailed. At the opening session of the twen- ty-fifth annual meeting of the Rhode Island State Grange, in Providence, John S. Murdock, member of the commission to investizate rural ditions in the state, ers to get toge trouble with thy er is that he is badly disor he is continually bucking against a well orzanized market. e said the only hope for future success of agri- culture in the state is the estzblis ment of a cooperativ sociation. T! true plan of cooperation is not mo money for one man than another, but every man getting an equal profit. The same was true, he said, of the voting power of such an association, each man having only one vote and thereby preventing any one man getting a monopoly. Mayor Gainer spoke uron the progress of the farmer and Edwin C. Pierce on Preparedness. At the business session State Mas- ter Peckham made his annual addre: He said that the national _grange treasury has a balance on hand of $100,000 and that more than 500 granges have been organized during the vear. As the surest way to instill interest in country life in our boys and girls, he said, was to advocate the teaching of agriculture in the rural schools and to warn people that the serious handicap to agricultural de- velopment in the state was neslect to furnish facilities for this study. He urged protest against discrimination in the tax laws of the state against the farmer. There should be protest against paving a rate that ranges from two to five times that paid by the owner of the money. Protest against paying a tax on what is not owned, while the holder of money does not; protest against a fixed rate on money, and a flexible rate on other property, which results in forcing the latter to furnish all increase in rev- enuve. The two and a half mills paid on the appraised valuation of bank stock, compared with eighteen mills paid on some real estate looks unfair, especially when the bank stocks re- turn much more interest per dollar invested.

Berne, Switzerland, Dec. 9, via Paris, 125 p. m—Dr. E. Troesch, secretary of the congress for the study of a dura- ble peace, which is to meet in the spring, explained today the origin and ourpose of the movement. He said the congress was being organized by rep- resentatives of the international body at The Hague which forms the re- mainder of several international asso- ciations which have been paralyzed b: the war. Representatives of the inter- parliamentary union also were identi- fied with the movement The American representative in the international organization is Mrs. Fan- nie Ferns Andrews of Boston. Dr. Troesch said, did intend to carry on peace propa- in favor of any country. It will The congress, not be absolutely neutral, he asserted, and will undertake to resume the inter- rupted activity of the international as- sociations. A provisional programme already has been arranged. It provides for re- ports on different questions of inde- pendence, such as determination of po- litical affiliations by popular vote, arbi- tration, Gisarmament, the open door and the functions of the conferences at The Hague.

Iron Will Make Rundown Peo- Stronger in in Many Ordinary Nuxated Delicate, Nervous, ple 200 Per Cent. Two Weeks Time, Cases Sew York, N. Y.—Most people fool- ishly seem to think they are going to get renewed health and strength from Some stimulating medlicine, secret nos trum or marcotic drug, said Dr. Sauer, a speclalist of this city, when, as a matter of fact, real and true strength can only come from the food you eat. But people often fail to get the strength out of their f00d because they haven't enough iron in their blood to enable it to change food into living matter. From their weakened. nervous condition they know something is wrong, but they can’t tell what, so they generally commence doctoring for Etomach, liver or kidney trouble or symptoms of some other allment caused by the lack of iron in the blood. This thing may go on for years, while the patient suffers untold agony. If you are not strong, or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next tak~ two five grain tablets of or- Qinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength agaln and see for yourself how much you have gained. 1 have seen dozens of mervous, rundown ople who were ailing all the while, ouble and even triple their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days’ time simply by taking iron in the proper form, and this after they had in some cases been doctoring for months o without obtaining any benefit. But don't take the oid forms of reduced iron, iron acetate or tincture of !ron simply to save a few cents. You must take iron In a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated like nuxated iron if you want it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than use- less.
